The data are also similar with regard to vocational training (VT), which is offered in both the systems mentioned above. In general terms, there is a balance in the percentages of men and women enrolled, both in the beginning and the intermediate courses (45 per cent were women in 1998-1999), as well as in the higher level (48.7 per cent were women in 1998-1999). This represents a step forward, since in the past, most students in vocational training programmes were usually men.
En cuanto a la Formación Profesional (FP), nivel en el que también conviven los dos sistemas comentados, también presenta datos similares En términos generales, existe un equilibrio entre la proporción de hombres y mujeres tanto en ciclos formativos de grado medio (un 45% de mujeres en 1998-1999) como de grado superior (un 48.7% de mujeres en 1998-1999), lo que significa un avance, ya que tradicionalmente los estudios de formación profesional eran realizados mayoritariamente por hombres.
